In The Cups

The HAGS (Hjemkomst Art Group) all painted cups inspired by a Bob Burridge video we watched.. what fun to see them all together in our display case ... 

Subject Matter Matters

I have 16 paintings with subject matter hanging at Edgewood Vista in Fargo, then.   For the month of November.. 

Cormorant "Get-Across" Gifted to Owen

So, the Cormorant art club members had a painting challenge this month.  Of course, i love it when there is a challenge of sorts.  Not sure if there will be an exhibit of the finished works or not.  Only a few members stepped up.  I enjoyed painting this acrylic using minimal palette. Those are rocks, not snowballs.   

"Wake Up" gifted to David

Our Hjemkomst painting group are all attempting to paint 'Bob Burridge" style cup paintings this month.. it will be fun to see what everyone comes with.  They will be exhibited at the Hjemkomst for the world to see.   My chicken image is from a photo of my grandson, David, with a rescued chicken..

Art Talk

I was asked to talk a little about my art that is exhibited at Trinity Lutheran in Moorhead, today.. It was so fun, not a large group but a very interested group.  It helps to have a story with each painting and most of them are true..

Red Spirit.. 11-21-22 Sold at Gallery4

I put the background in by using left over paint from another "update"of an older work.  while it was wet, i used the little brush that comes with hair dye, yes, hair dye, to make the marks.. purely an accident. Still fascinated with the cardinal, thinking of Carl's spirit..
